When Khosi is pulled back to the 1800s, viewers see her in a world unlike anything they have ever seen – a world run by the Jola royal family led by King Jonginamba KaMajola, who has three wives who live separately in their homesteads and Melisizwe's father.
His first wife with MamCwerha, a story and ferocious woman who will do anything to protect her son, Longamo, whom she considers the rightful heir. The second wife is MamThembu, the favourite, along with their son Melisizwe.
MaMpinga is the youngest wife and does not like being pulled into family dramas. Her house is filled with daughters and is renowned for its dancing and singing.
